Malekith, the Black Sword of Elden's Circle, is the main boss in the game. It has two stages and is relatively difficult to fight. Here I will share with you how to fight Malikus, the Black Sword of Elden's Circle.
Reward: Memories of the Black Sword, 220,000 runes, unlock the trophy ["Black Sword" Malikis]
Location: The side of the gradually broken Fam Azra-bridge (after defeating the Fire Giant, you can come here after blessing the "Giant Flame Cauldron" and talking to the NPC)
The Beast Priest and the "Black Sword" Malikis are two stages of the same BOSS, but they have different names. When the Beast Priest's health drops to half, he will turn into the "Black Sword" Malikis. If you are playing a mage, then use the "Rock Ball" spell and the Meteor Staff to hit it (both can be found in Galede-Sage Town). The BOSS's resistance to spells is not high, so use gravity spells to hit it continuously. 4-5 times can make it dizzy. If you are playing a melee profession, it will be more troublesome. Players need to keep rolling to attack the BOSS, so the load should not be too high (or wear light armor to increase the movement speed). If it is too slow, it will kill it after two cuts.
In the first stage, the BOSS will use melee attacks and medium-range projectile attacks, and can also grab rocks from the ground and smash them down. These moves are easy to dodge, just run to the side or hide behind a pillar. After starting, summon some enhanced ashes souls (such as imitation teardrops) to attract the attention of the BOSS, and then you can easily get through the first stage. The soul should be able to survive to the second stage of the BOSS. If you are playing a mage, then just throw rock balls at the BOSS when its attention is attracted by the soul. After hitting it 4-5 times in a row, the BOSS will be stunned. If you continue to throw spells, you can quickly reduce its value; If you are playing a melee profession, then rush up and chop it twice while it is killing the ashes and souls.
The second stage is a bit difficult. Players must learn the BOSS's moves and keep dodging to survive. The BOSS's damage is very high, its range is also very long, and it often jumps up to attack. If you are not careful, you will be instantly killed by it. The soul summoned previously should still be alive, let it attract the attention of the BOSS, and we will hide aside and look for opportunities to output. After the soul dies, the BOSS will focus on us. At this time, we can get close to the BOSS and lure it to launch melee attacks (when the distance is relatively close, the BOSS will use melee attacks more frequently). The hit rate of this attack is relatively low and very It's easy to dodge. After rolling to dodge, get up and hit him a few times, then repeat this step. If you are playing a mage, then run backward and distance yourself, dodge the BOSS's combo attack and immediately use the rock ball to knock it out, and then continue to hit it with spells.
When the distance is relatively far, the BOSS will jump up and fire 3 sword energy, then quickly rush forward and swing twice. When it jumps up and fires sword energy, just hide behind the pillar, but the subsequent sweeping attack can hit us directly through the pillar, so don't stand still and roll twice immediately to avoid its attack. Being hit twice by a sweeping attack will most likely kill you instantly, so be sure to roll at the right time. After the BOSS's attack is over, there will be a brief pause and you can take this opportunity to attack it.
Regardless of whether you are playing a mage or a melee profession, you should not use the Holy Grail Bottle if you can in the first stage. Leave all the bottles for the second stage and bring more Holy Grail Bottles to restore health. If you find it difficult, then first look for golden seeds to increase the number of uses of the Holy Grail bottle to the upper limit of 14 times, and then find all the Holy Grail dew drops to increase the recovery amount to the upper limit, so as to increase the rate. The BOSS doesn't have a lot of HP, but it's just difficult to fight in the second stage.
The above is the entire content of the strategy guide for Elden's Circle of Black Sword Malikkis. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
